014 Bushels ❦ [Action for Mahogany]
[Applejack has been quiet for the last few days. Hardly in the mood to talk, the southerner has been taking advantage of the warmer weather to get in some training. Never wanting to sit still, she takes every opportunity to run or fight or do something, but outside of her pokemon, she insists on being alone. She has to keep herself busy. So she doesn't think. So she isn't reminded.
One year. One whole year. And that's just the time she remembers. That's not counting the time she's been here before. She hasn't seen her family, her home, her orchard, in a year. She knows that time works strange here, that for her, time isn't moving back home, but that doesn't quite translate to her emotions. To her, she's spent a whole year of her life chasing strange animals while her family and her farm is without her. Stuck in some strange land, located who knows how far away from home. If she was never brought here, what would she have experienced at home? Would this year's haul be a good one? Did Apple Bloom get her cutie mark? She didn't want to think about it. She didn't want to think at all.
If you happen to be wandering in a secluded part of town, you may notice Applejack training. She may be running laps, or doing sit-ups, or training her pokemon, but one thing is instantly noticeable: she looks like shit. Her clothes are torn and her body is dirty and covered in scrapes and bruises. She looks like she hasn't slept in days. She doesn't want to. She dreams of home.]

(She remembers the whole Dodge Junction fiasco, but Daring waves her leaf around eagerly.)

Was it that easy t'figure out?

...I was like that most of the trip through the mountain. And it was either the farm, or you were trying to hide winning the Mahogany badge before me!

[With everything going on, it must have slipped her mind. She used to have so much pride in collecting the badges. How could she forget?]
no subject
Mega~!
Hehe, and Daring too. But until then, maybe get your team back up to full strength and together we can get in some serious training before you challenge the Gym?
no subject
[She sighs. She doesn't want to go back. She doesn't feel like she can face her friends after vanishing like that.]
O-okay. Just... lead th'way for me, alright?
no subject
(Rainbow recalls Daring and brings out Dash, who neighs while simultaneously shooting off a Flamethrower amidst blue flames on her back.)
Wanna go back in style?
no subject
As flashy as always, ain't ya?
no subject
Duh! Think it's time for us to remember the awesomeness of having 4 legs again.
no subject
I wouldn't mind having four legs again...
no subject
Hehe, yeah! Whenever I miss having 4 legs I just take Dash out for a ride.
